Line 4:
The results split into two types:
* '''Type A:''' An actual number. It's sometimes oddly specific or, more often, [[Readings Are Off the Scale|doesn't fit the scale]] (as in, [[Up to Eleven|more than ten]] or less than one).
* '''Type B:''' Not even a number, or left unanswered for rhetorical reasons.
See also [[Up to Eleven]], which is named after an example this, [[Top Ten List]], for other things from one to ten, and [[Broke the Rating Scale]] when the results don't fit the scale.

==Examples of type A:==
=== [[Film]]
* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'':
{{quote|'''Iago (as Jafar):''' No, really. On a scale of one to ten, you are an eleven.}}
* ''[[Serendipity]]'':
{{quote|"How drunk is he on a scale of one to ten?"
"Twelve." }}
* The title of ''[[10 (film)|10]]'' is based on this trope. [[Bo Derek]] is a "10" on a scale of one to ten.
* [[Sarah Silverman]] once opened the [[MTV]] Movie Awards with a crack at ''[[300]]''.
{{quote|"It's named after the rating for how gay it was on a scale of one to ten."}}
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* From ''[[The Incredibles|The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer]]'':
{{quote|'''Frozone:''' [[On a Scale From One To Ten]], how dangerous do you think it is to be in [[Eternal Engine|here]]?
'''Mr. Incredible:''' Ehh... maybe three. Four tops.
''[A bunch of new [[Mecha-Mooks]] appear]''
'''Mr. Incredible:''' Make that six-and-a-half. }}
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
{{quote|'''[[Spider-Woman]]:''' How crazy is he [Norman Osborn] on a scale of one to ten?
'''[[Spider-Man]]:''' Just until ten? Can't it be more? }}
=== [[Fan Works]] ===
* In a late chapter of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13001792/1/All-According-to-Plan All According to Plan]'' by LysandraLeigh, a manic Lyra Black (actually a [[Time Travel]]ing 13-year-old Bellatrix Black) tells Hermione's parents about the wards she could place on their home, when:
{{quote|"Is this legal?" Dad asked suddenly, probably clued in by the Somebody Else's Problem ward that something was amiss.
Crooking an eyebrow, Lyra asked, "How much would it matter, on a scale of one to forget I ever said anything?"
"One," Mum said, without missing a beat.}}
* The motorcycle belonging to Doug Sangnoir in the serial [[Mega Crossover]] ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' has some manner of active security system built into it to prevent its theft. Exactly what it does to would-be thieves and how powerful it is aren't exactly clear, but Doug has been known to describe its various settings in terms such as "fucking ''ouch''" and "where shall I send the ashes, ma'am?"
* ''[[Harry Potter and the Rune Stone Path]]'' has a type B in this passage:
{{quote|"On a scale of one to shadow panther, I think we hit Giant Squid on that one."}}
* A type B of the former combined with a mixed type 2/3 of [[Broke the Rating Scale]] can be found in this passage from chapter 73 of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[[The Arithmancer|Lady Archimedes]]'':
{{quote|"So on a scale of one to whatever it was you did to Umbridge, how horrifying is this going to be?" George said.
Hermione looked over the rune setup one last time. "I'd say somewhere between Inferius and what Filch and Mrs. Norris get up to in their spare time," she replied.}}
